Presenter: Rowan Thorpe (Lecturer and Admissions Tutor)
What makes the Physiotherapy BSc special?
At the only UK university based on a hospital site, you’ll study in a clinical setting and work alongside different healthcare students and professionals. We’ve run this course for twenty years, so we know exactly what it takes to prepare students for this rewarding role.
You will undergo a 30 weeks on placement, treating patients under supervision both in hospital and community settings to apply your skills and prepare for your career as a physiotherapist.
Who is the course for?
With an ageing population and more people living with long-term conditions and multiple health issues, physiotherapists are in demand. As a result, career prospects are excellent, with opportunities to progress within the NHS, private practice, charities and other organisations.
Physiotherapists work in a variety of settings, including patients’ own homes. You might care for people who suffer physical impairment as they recover in hospital. Or perhaps you’ll work within the community, helping patients with mental health needs, learning disabilities or serious medical conditions.
When you complete this degree, you’ll be eligible to apply for professional registration with the HCPC and become a member of the CSP.
